HOTIce doesn't appear to obfuscate the source at all. Or at least no more than many posts here are without even trying. Same thing with Obcode. Are you sure you meant to mention those because they don't appear to do much (except perhaps remove whitespace (and then not all white-space) and comments).

Heck, my own obfuscator works better than those two.

[Added Oops! I misjudged Obcode. I'm not sure what the deal is but it appears to have two modes. The first is comparable to the Spannix code. The second looks somewhat decent. Its certainly reversable but it isn't immediately accessible to anything like Deparse. I suppose someone here could write a deobfuscator for that (obcode) but it'd be annoying.]
